I spent four years in the Army, a fair amount of that time at Fort
Sam Houston working as a geospatial intelligence analyst supporting
counter-narcotic and drug interdiction efforts in South America.
I've done a fair bit a traveling in that four years, several states
in the US and four other countries (Kuwait, Iraq, Colombia and
Belize).

I spent most of 2012 working for the Elizabeth Warren campaign in
the Greater Lowell Area, it was probably the most fun I've ever had
at a job.

I had a friend in the Army once describe me as 'a deadly
combination of intelligence and laziness'.

I can solve a Rubik's Cube in about 2 minutes. It's a neat party
trick.

Right now I'm a nursing major and work full time at a cyber
security company.

"There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old's
life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish
fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its
unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially
crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other,
of course, involves orcs." -John Rogers

-Books: Song of Ice and Fire series, The Night Angel Trilogy, World
War Z, Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, Ender's Game, Wheel of Time
series

-The fact that I was born either too early or too late; too early
to explore our galaxy, too late to explore the planet in any real
meaningful fashion.

-Politics, religion, the global economy, space travel, and how
badass it would be to have a manned colony on Mars also occupy a
lot of my thoughts when my mind wanders. I am equal parts a
dreamer/idealist and a bitter cynic when it comes to the way I view
the world and humanity as a whole.

-I put on almost 80lbs in the three years after I got out of the
army due to a combination of injury, PTSD, and drinking too much.
The three may have been interrelated. Doing much better now and
down 30 lbs in the last several months.
